Gmail May Offer Option to View Non-Threaded Replies

If and when you first started using Gmail, did you have trouble getting used to how replies came into your inbox? I know personally that I missed a few messages here and there until I got used to what Google calls “Conversation View.” And while I wouldn’t go back to the old way, there are still people out there who prefer to see replies come in as separate messages.

According to Business Insider, “Google is planning to offer a standard email option in Gmail in the next few months, two executives at the company say.” Those two executives aren’t named, of course, so take this information with a grain of salt. It’d kind of be a weird rumor to just make up, though. In the never-ending battle to lure potential email users, it makes sense for Google to offer as many options as possible from a usability standpoint.
